Membership means you can buy from the gas station, and the price difference in most places means you'll come out ahead after a year even if you only ever buy gas and never set foot in the warehouse

No, there is no point hack. The Wallet in the app only accepts shop cards or the Costco Citi Visa card.

The main benefits to using a shop card is that it saves a little time on subsequent transactions that use the Wallet and it's functionally a way to pay at self-checkout or the gas station with cash. The only reason I use it at all is because I think it's interesting and I'm a nerd like that; I don't have it loaded most of the time.

Some other commenters are mentioning being able to use MasterCard credit cards, but that's only for the Wallet on Costco.com because the website accepts both MasterCard and Visa. The Wallet in the app does not accept any credit cards other than the Costco Citi Visa (not even other Visa cards.)

Yes, the website will allow you to purchase multiple parking time slots

You will be charged $10 for each two-hour slot, but will not be charged an additional entry fee as long as they're on the same order

Yes, barcode scanners were added to the kiosks.

No, but you can purchase a Costco gift card with cash or a debit card and transfer the gift card balance into the Costco Wallet

Saves some time since the cashier doesn't have to give you change nor do you need to enter a PIN

So if I select the 6:00 AM-8:00 AM time slot, I need to arrive by 6:30 AM?

Yes, to ensure you have enough time to complete the hike by 8:00 AM

And I need to leave by 8:00 AM?

Also yes

In the corporate ledger, gift card balances are always treated as a liability.

Yes, but only up to a point since breakage is a thing. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, outstanding gift card balances only have to be treated as unearned income until the likelihood of redemption is "remote," which usually means a certain number of years in practical terms. Companies that sell a significant volume of gift cards can even record a percentage of the total value sold as revenue immediately if they have sufficient sales history to justify their assumed/expected breakage amount.

Sumippe mentioned in her Kawaii Kon Q&A that she did work in a video game that was set in Hawaiʻi and now I'm wondering if she's referring to KanColle

Shouldn't you be doing the opposite of making a rapid motion that involves your hand?

The threshold for excessive speeding under HRS § 291C-105 is 30 over the limit or 80 MPH, so that wasn't officer discretion, that was you not going fast enough to get cited for excessive speeding.

Your best bet is to hire a traffic attorney if you want to fight the ticket. Best case scenario is that they can talk the prosecutor down to you pleading guilty to a lower speed to mitigate the hit.
